My brother only has two squads of Necron Warriors though.. may have to adapt the forces or use proxy models. I already have lots of jungle terrain and the perfect model for last stands... the Alamo! Just waiting on those Valkyries!

I'm sure chatting on 'skype' or somesuch would be far, far quicker, but that's not an option for me at the moment. <br />3) I play guard and therefore have a lot of bodies to move around;<br />4) We often use it to try new ideas out, so there's more checking of rules, cross referencing etc.<br /><br />I ought to point out: I've seen some really annoying, infantile and unsporting approaches to using Vassal when observing others' games, and that would be a rubbish experience, but with a sporting opponent and not taking it too seriously it's great fun!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />- Drax.Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-16933878247482042662009-05-08T18:07:00.000+01:002009-05-08T18:07:00.000+01:00Looks like a load of fun there Drax and 73rd!

I'm still laughing at the little tag lines we added for the Valkyries *cough* Eldar thievings.
